[BioC] importing MAGE-ML files

[Vincent Carey 525-2265]

I am not aware of any tools tailored to MAGE-ML at the moment,
although Tony Rossini has raised some queries and indicated
some effort in that direction.

The XML package for R includes some very powerful tools for
parsing and organizing XML documents/content.  If you have
some specific concerns about transforming MAGE-ML documents
to bioconductor exprSets or to objects that can be used with
the affy or marray* tools, let us know and we can probably
help.  This might lead to a new package for handling MAGE-ML
or to methods added to Biobase that deal with this input
format.
